These images are rather more abstract than some of the ones I post - but I like them.
These are (or this is) Yellow-throated Miners (Manorina flavigula) in the Mallee. I am not sure I would have really identified them as such without help, but luckily help was on hand. In the future I will look for the distinctive white rump which is a clear field mark.
We are slowly coming out of lockdown - and now all of my family is double jabbed, so we have done our bit for the community.
The Yellow-throated Miner is found across mainland Australia, and I suppose that the Mallee counts as that!

ReplyDeleteThese are excellent shots, Stewart - making the bird that absolute star! YAM xx
Always a pleasure, Stewart
ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day!
Great shots.."yellow throated" is a stretch!!
ReplyDeleteThe bird looks like it is scowling which is fascinating!
ReplyDeleteGlad everyone has the jabs!
Its gape resembles that of a nestling. Interesting and strange (to me of course, as are nearly all your species)
ReplyDeleteInteresting face! I've never seen one of these.
ReplyDeleteNice shots of the Miner. Sorry I am so far behind with photos but will catch up one day. I have just had my 3rd booster but we are still being very careful!! Cheers Diane
ReplyDeleteVery cool bird. I've never seen one.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding find! I would be quite happy with these images, abstract or otherwise.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing another "exotic to me" bird, Stewart!
